if that s the best the democrats will put forward after having won the house, 2020 will look awfully good for the republicans. bill: jerry nadler, democrat from new york said our very first witness on or after january 3 will be to subpoena or summon if necessary mr. whitaker. they have him initially in their sights. you know, they will find out that s a clean operation, so if he is in their sights, they are focusing on the wrong area if there is any right area to focus on. bill: axios had this headline. democrats load subpoena cannon with 85 plus trump targets. do you think there will be a battle inside the party how the strategy plays out? in the democrat party. bill: nancy pelosi says it won t be scatter shot. how do you control it? there won t be a battle, but
axios is out with quite the head line this morning about the democrats plan to investigate the president once they take over the house in january. there s the headline right there. democrats load a subpoena cannon with 85 plus targets. one particular area of interest, some in the wall street journal just shed light on hush payments, of women who claim they had affairs with the president. the president denies those claims. weighing in rebecca fallhouse. and henry whitman. thank you. rebecca, since it is your reporting, walk us through details that democrats may zero in on.
that senate race. back here in washington when it comes to the house, democrats as you know are getting ready to go after president trump with one source telling axios they are preparing a subpoena metaphorical obviously. let me bring in kasie hunt and also andy carr. so subpoena cannon, it is happening, i guess. how does nancy pelosi do all this? i actually think that there is a concern about managing all of it because there is certainly as you snyou showed in that gra there is a lot there to investigate and the purchases ha have helps are let it slide.
what is the one big thing? yeah. we re looking at the hell that awaits donald trump come january when house democrats take control. and we have one aide saying they loaded up a subpoena cannon. it s going to be directed at the white house by our talley that we were working on overnight, it looks like there is 85 different possible targets that democrats will go after related to trump and to his administration. and why this matters is this is going to dominate the next two years. most democrats that you talk to privately say it almost undoubtedly leads to impeachment proceedings against a president and several different fights over subpoenas and over congressional power that can land before the supreme court. we already heard nancy pelosi weighing in when it comes to the i word, impeachment there. i want to play sound from congressman anita lowy, incoming chair of the appropriations committee talking with their colleague and we ll talk about it. should the majority look into
quote, subpoena cannon. on the heels of that subpoena cannon look no further than congresswoman anita lowey. james comey? yes. the travel ban? the family separation policy? absolutely. the hurricane in puerto rico. it was absolutely inadequate. white house staff use of personal e-mail. oh, for sure. the president s business dealings abroad. absolutely. and i want to see his tax return. that was mike allen from axios. the appropriations committee isn t the only one planning to take aim at the president, his family and administration. i m joined by illinois democratic congressman roger christian moriarty. he s over the house committee.
